Samsung is also touting the addition of Bixby to the Galaxy S8 devices. Bixby is Samsung’s intelligent assistant that bears some similarities to current virtual assistants, but also holds significance for its possibilities. Bixby is contextually aware of what’s happening on the device, and most notably, Bixby features “cognitive tolerance”, which allows it to understand incomplete commands and perform the task to the best of its knowledge. At launch, Bixby is integrated into select Samsung apps, with plans to expand its functionality to third-party apps. Bixby can be accessed by pressing a dedicated button on Galaxy S8 devices.

Additional changes in the Galaxy S8 line include the removal of the physical home button and the addition of support for Gigabit LTE and Wi-Fi networks.

The Galaxy S8 and S8+ will be available beginning April 21. Color options include Midnight Black, Orchid Gray, Arctic Silver, Coral Blue, and Maple Gold.
